11th hour save from Isle of Printing's new Material Commerce Division

Yule tide greetings friends and neighbors!

Due to our extreme stance and this subject we at Isle of
Printing willfully eschewed that scourge upon family values know to most as
Black Friday and for good measure we thumbed our noses at Cyber Monday and
Titillating Tuesday and whatever else the people at Entertainment Tonight have come up with to talk about lately.

While others--devious self serving, greedy scoundrels--sought to
rob you of your time with those you love, we stayed out of the way. More
family, more friends we said! And I am positive you were probably the
better for it!

Thus in the continuing efforts of IOP to give you exactly what
you want exactly when you need it we bring you the 12th Annual

Oh Shit! I Haven't
Bought Any Gifts Yet Weekend Extravaganza!!!!

Take a moment to peruse the listings we have dutifully loaded
onto out little Etsy Shop and consider making someone much happier just in the
Old Saint Nick of time!

It is our pledge to ship anything ordered this weekend and monday out by Tuesday so you can get it in your hot little hands ASAP (USPS) - get in touch if you need something faster!

Further more

Conveniently offered here on the Internet are a few new things
to make the end of the year more exciting that we have been cooking up just for
you (and me!)

Here's a quick run down of the good tidings we bring!

Nifty Laser Style Bird
Ornaments!

If you can put a bird on it you should! Or so I heard.

Straight from our hearts to yours via our laser cutter: six
exciting hand-drawn birds etched into birch with some really nicely dyed twine
to hang them from your tree or a nail or your ear.

Illustrated by the illustrious Shelby Rodefffer and packaged
with a tiny red heart! You can't beat this holiday treat!

Some things don't need too much convincing…maybe just a tiny,
tiny small voice of reason or gusto to help you out. Which luckily you
can find in our small grouping of tiny men extolling the virtues of whatever you
think you are hearing them say.

Laser cut from our collection of antique typographic ornaments
into birch plywood, these dapper fellows will help you through any situation
and help you rest easy knowing that drink is in fact still yours....and that you
are very handsome/lovely.

Set of 10 charming fellows with sturdy clasps (roughly 1 1/2
inches tall) packed together on a fancy recycled card.

"Mama if plywood is flat and rigid how come this wooden
notebook bends and flexes like a noodle?"

***Attention***

If you are looking for a notebook that is wooden, novel, and
quite beautiful you have come to the right place. Crafted from a single
piece of 1/8 birch, this notebook is laser cut in such a way as to have a
flexible spine while retaining its tuff wooden good looks. Inside is a
replaceable letterpressed notebook with a one of a kind cover made from a real
live IOP poster. A classy cloth elastic band holds everything closed for
easy transport.

A collaborative project that has been four plus years in the making - has
finally arrived!!!!

Seen for the first time here today online and available for
purchase

Our goal: to design a shadow typeface composed of a fill, a
shadow and a major letter form that would give us the most design mileage
possible from one letter set. Each letter has three separate blocks that
can be used alone or combined together in a seemingly endless parade of
permutations.

Our hope - to give people the opportunity to artfully use type
in their lives in a big way!

When we think of lasers we think of plastics and when we think
of plastics we think of petroleum products...and when we think of petroleum
products we think of DINOSAURS!!!!

Ergo, we are always thinking about laser dinosaurs. Our
intrepid intern assistant pointed out that laser dinosaurs are very close to
lasered dinosaurs. So with a little work on her part we made that happen.

the 21st century.

Get a set of happy dinosaurs before they are extinct.... Again!

Hang them on your tree or

Be the first on your block to ditch mistletoe for dinosaurs as
the new doorjamb kissing sensation!
